You've summed up Eberle well, Ben. The Isles obviously need his offensive abilities, but when he's not scoring, he's not much help.

Apologies John. (frank)ing internet connection has been poop for the last two weeks here. Probably cause everybody is “working” (read as watching porn) from home.

overpaid and too inconsistent, very streaky player imo and team needs more consistency on the offensive side.

I'm an "essential employee"

Which means I'm watching porn at work

I agree with the streakiness and lack of consistency but I don't know I'd agree on the overpaid part. I think the contract was a bit of a risk last year but he was worth the money this season, even if he was inconsistent. To get a top-six forward who can score 20-25 goals and 50+ points locked up with term for under $6 million is a solid deal, it's just a matter of whether he can replicate those numbers in the coming years, IMO.

Yup. Starting to get word of cases up here now.

Nowhere near as bad as you poor buggers though.

Alberta is in 4th place behind Quebec, Ontario and B.C. But you have a solid lead over 5th place Saskatchewan.

I'm right in downtown Toronto and I've never seen it so quiet. Went out for a walk Friday evening and might have passed 10 or 15 people in an hour. So strange to see.

Alberta yes, but northern Alberta is a rather different beast.

The vast majority of Alberta’s population is located in the south, as are the majority of cases. But it has made its way up here now. I doubt there are few places it won’t eventually show up.

I sometimes go a day without seeing anyone now. Not even someone in a vehicle. (frank)ing eerie.
